Glow - Thursday 11 to Monday 15 December This year Glow will highlight some of Newcastle's medieval town walls using large scale architectural light projections to present and join together sites both grand and intimate that are rarely seen by tourists or known to local residents. Several phases of development have radically altered Newcastle's visual landscape, and the trail aims to reveal buildings, spaces and views largely lost to the public, tucked away and "hiding" amongst late 20th century roads, buildings and development.

Glowmobiles - Wednesday 31 December (New Year's Eve) A dazzling array of Art Cars, transformed and illuminated by artists, will be on display around the city centre on New Year's Eve... new vehicles specially commissioned for this event will be joined by others which are musical, fiery, and magically mechanical. Come and marvel at how each vehicle uses light and sustainable power sources, and dress up yourself with an illuminated costume or glowing motor goggles for the parade! Glowmobiles, created by Walk the Plank, culminates with an early evening firework finale.
